Bill Allert 68 #1 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi, I'm a new member here and just starting to restore my L157 tractor. This has a 6HP Tecumseh with the fuel neck coming thru the hood. My tank is in real bad shape with the cap threads gone. I have 2 questions; would anybody have a tank for sale, & 2; has anybody used a stock Tecumseh tank as a replacement and is the neck long enough to fit thru the hood?? (the Toro tank seemed to have a longer filler neck than other 6HP engines). Thanks foe any help!!! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roscoemi 245 #4 Posted March 26, 2013 My son has a 1967 Ranger. I can't help with the fuel tank, but can probably help with starting, charging and ignition issues! Just spent a couple weeks having it educate me! ( Check tecky h-60 spark issues on the engine thread). Kelly can probably help with a fuel tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #6 Posted March 26, 2013 The only tanks I can think of that will work is a Ranger tank and some other tucky powered tractors like the 605, 655, 656, 606, 657 ect......, I just sold my last one a few weeks ago, some other tanks have the tall neck but it is not in the right spot to fit the hood, and Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
305 380 #8 Posted March 26, 2013 i think you are going to need the long filler neck , even with one on my Ranger the cap just clears the hood enough to screw the cap. if you are handy with metal you could modify a standard tank. i do have an extra tank , but there are a couple pinhole leaks in the bottom.
